The ToOthsome Caramel
Chicago Tribune

Although so many of our pleasantest
things come from France, the caramel is
an American invention of'not quite n doz-
en- years standing. IL was not known in
Europe till about six years ago; and it is
now made there only by one firm of con
fectioners-a London house. A pint of
cream to three pounds of sugar will make
a go.d quantity, boiled together, and the
havoring, of whatever desired nature, ad-
ded when it reaches 260 degrees Fahren
heit. Pour out the mixture then ON fiat
dishes TO cool, and as soon as it begins to
set" which is very soon, cut 1t into little
blocks with sharp blade dipped in cold
water. These will be good for some time,
and are about as innocent CONNECTION as
there is TO be found.
